Doom 3 on MacBook...

I'm ordering a new macbook today (2ghz, 1gb RAM, 80gb hdd) and I play video games a lot..just..not on a laptop.

I'm just wondering if Doom 3 or maybe Halo or something will run on the macbook with the specifications that I'm getting? I know the graphics card is supposedly bad but is that reason enough for the game to not RUN? or will it just LOOK bad..?

Thanks. (and sorry if this has been asked!)

Halo, maybe. Doom 3 no. The 950 doesn't support many (any?) lighting effects, etc, so even Halo is iffy. Definately no on the Doom 3. The Intel mini (basically same specs as the MB) put up like 8 fps on Doom 3 according to barefeats.com.

On second thought, it MIGHT run a bit better in Windows, with Bootcamp, but not well by any stretch.
